THE PRESIDENT At HOME
He Has Travelled About $500 Miles
Through Seventeen atnte.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Everybody on the
Presidential special was up ct sunrise this
morning. Toilets were rather hastily made.
coffee was served just as the Goddess Of Lib
erty came into view, good-bys were said. and
at the appointed time to a minute &c 40 A. NJ.
the train came to a stop at Washington.
The President was heartily glad to get home,
though as heartily glad that he went away.
During the three weeks Of his journeyng he
had travelled $500 miles, passed through sev-
enteen States. crossing three Of them. and had
seen and been seen by lvariousy estimated by
different members Of the party at from one to
I'VE! millions OF American citizens.
There were no brass bands no committee
men. no crowds at the station here. and It is
nothing uncomplimentary to the people whom
the President has visited to say that every one
OF the tourists was glad OF 1t.
Tho President and Mrs. Cleveland and Col
Lamont IL entered their carriage and went to the
White House. The Postmaster General and
Mrs. Villas we're driven to their home. DIR.
Bryant and MIR. Bissell went to breakfast with
the President, after which they took the trains
respectively for New York city ana Buffalo.
The artist and the two journalists went their
several ways. The Pullman cars were un-
coupled for the first time in three weeks and

found about 100 miles south Of the junction
of the Kassai aud Sankuru rivers, are among
the gentlest and most intelligent peoples
who have been found In Africa. They have,
however, one exceedingly bad practice. DR..
WOLF says that they have become very fond
OF guns since trading tribes who live nearer
the white men have introduced these weap-
ons among them, and they will sell their
daughters and even their wives to procure
guns and ammunition. These people have
many excellent proverbs and maxims such
as these: Law is better than force" and
Life Is better than wealth." They are re-
garded as being, In most respects, peculiarly
amenable to civilizing influences. For all
that, they support one Of the greatest ma
tive slave markets in Africa, and DR.. WOLF
says 1t will take long time and strong CIV
ilizlng influences before their devotion to the
slave trade will cease. They do not under
stand that there Is anything wrong In sell
ing their wives and children. There Is this
striking popularity. however, about their
slave trade. They buy thousands Of slaves
every year from other tribes, and they
treat them 80 well that the slaves can
hardly be distinguished by stranger from
members Of the tribe. In their export slave
trade, as rule, they sell only troublesome
individuals whom they are anxious to get rid
Of. A while ago the people in South Baluba
became very much dissatisfied with ono Of
their chiefs, whose numerous wars with other
tribes cost the lives Of many Of his subjects.
They finally decided that the best way to get
rid Of him was to sell him into slavery. They
put him up for sale In the great slave market
at Mukenge, and were glad to let him 20 for
ten goats, which they killed. and divided the
meat among the relatives Of some OF the men
who had lost their lives In his battles.
When Dr. WOLF told one Baluba chief that
it was very wrong to sell his wives, the chief
took him apart and explained to him In con-
fidence that the Baluba never sold good
wives, but only troublesome women, whom
they couldn't get along with.

The Cost of Education at Harvard.

OF late years the complaint has been prev
alent that Harvard College, with It's
magnificent curriculum and endowments,
has been seminary for the rich alone which
poor boys ought to avoid. It has been al
legged that the cost Of living and tuition, even
with the pecuniary assistance afforded by the
college, is double or treble that Of other seats
OF learning OF almost equal fame.
These charges are refuted by Prof. GEORGE
HERBERT PALMER. In an address delivered
at Cambridge, In manner that must prove
very gratifying to the friends of the univer-
sity. In order TO sift tho matter to the bot
tom he sent a circular to each member Of
the last graduating class, asking him in con-
fldence to tell what his college course had
cost. Out Of q class OF 2S5 men actually In
residence, 219, or 93 per cent, sent in reports,
from which 1t appears that OF the 2l9,
Sc, or about quarter of the class, spent
between $3.50 and $3.50 In each Of the four
years course; "a spent between $3.50 and
$975, while 81. a little more than quarter of
the class, spent q larger sum than 81, 200 each.
The smallest amount In any one year was
$500; the largest $4,000.
The conclusion at which Prof. PALMER
arrives Is that these figures indicate a
"soberly sensible average of expense" at
Harvard. Young men Of fortune naturally
Live there on the scale to which they have
been accustomed at home; men of limited
means do the same and to cast slur upon
the university because some undergraduates
are richer than others is neither Just nor
generous. Poor boys OF course must deny
themselves many Of the social enjoyments
which college life 30 abundantly offers, but
that rather aids them In the attainment of
that higher education which they are desir-
GUS Of acquiring.
But granting that $3.50 year Is too
much for an INDECENT student to OK
pend. there Is another side of the
story which the detractors of Har-
ward seem to have overlooked. The BEN
eficiary aid extended by the college to de-
serving students amounted during the last
academic year to $4,000. and this sum will be
increased to $4,000 during the present year.

30 Gladstone is a Bad Man!

That, at least, Is what his enemies have
made up their minds to call him. two Of the
most conspicuous leaders OF the Tories hav-
ing last week joined In publicly denounclng
Mr.. GLADSTONE no longer on political but
on moral grounds. Mr.. GosCHEN, speaking
at Bradford, described an utterance imputed
to the chief OF the Liberals-Remember
Mitchelstown-as "prohigate," and his re-
fusal to sustain tho Cabinet in its efforts
to enforce an act Of Parliament as an "out-
rage on the principles Of constitutional gov
eminent" At Sunderland, only day later,
Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL arraigned at
the bar Of the public conscience Mr. GLAD
STONES declaration that Welsh disestablish-
ment must wait until the Irish question Is
disposed OF, as profoundly immoral"
What can the great majority Of the sober
minded voters Of England think Of the Tory
party and its Irish programme when they
see its advocates reduced to such intemper-
ate and meaningless trades What are
these epithets dealt out with Podsnappian
solemnity by Mr.. GoscHEN but so much
slush2 1t Is "profigate." then, to remember
Mitchelstown. but not profligata to perpe-
trate or condone the murders which have
made the town memorable. 1t is an "out-
rage" to refuse to back the Ministers In the
rigorous enforcement of the miscalled Crimes
act; but 1t Is no outrage to employ extraor-
binary powers when there is not a rag OF
evidence that any extraordinary amount of
crime exists In Ireland. 1t Is no outrage,
either, to have procured the law In question
upon false pretences. to have professed that
1t was levelled only at criminal offences, but,
having got It, to use it for robbing Irishmen
Of their rights Of cooperation and OF free
meeting and free speech. And, finally, it Is
an outrage to recall the Irish town where a
Coroner's Jury had the courage to record a
verdict Of wilful murder against Tory con-
stables; but 1t Is, on the other hand, no out
rage to quash that verdict, and by implica-
ton tell the constables to kill more next time.
For Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL to as
sumo to ait in judgment on Mr.. GLADsToNE's
purity Of motive. that is, of course to trans
form the campaign now going on In England
into circus. Nobody need get very angry
with Lord RANDOLPH when he chooses to
startle and amuse; but neither will anybody
argue with him. No arguments could have
been needed to convince his auditors that
when Mr.. GLADSTONE said that a Welsh
question must give way to the Irish Ques-
ton. no gave vent to patent and notorious
truism, and that, when he promised In due
time to support. or at least not to oppose. tho
scheme Of disestablishment In Wales. no did

trials only inferior to that Of Mr. MARITIME and Mr. Nco

matters and that he owes many people that he can
not be depended upon In the chief place. where the re-
sponsbility rests upon himself although an excellent
assistant in subordinate position This charge been
brought and proved against some of the great historic
orators of the world. 1t does follow that personal
corruption attends upon oosenes in money matsrs or
that one who borrows money careessly cannot be de-
pended upon to discharge sworn duty.
